Nowadays, increased of petroleum prices which resulted as the most common problems in most developing countries. Decreased of petroleum supply while increased in fuel demand, makes the government to look for alternative ways to supply the demand for fuel.
Energy from the sun is now being used as solar energy, still it can''t afford to supply the need for power. Wind energy has been used by some countries but still supply can''t afford since it depends upon enviromental conditions. On the otherhand, biomass has been widely used as a source for fuel but resulted to enviromental problems.
Water as an abunadant resource on earth, has been used as energy source but not used as a fuel for stoves. Water can be used as a fuel for stoves by the process of electrolysis. Hydrogen is separated from oxygen. For every one mole of hydrogen produced is equivalent to a half of oxygen gas produced. Hydrogen separated can be collected through a tank and store for use as a fuel for stove. Materials used for storage should resist inside pressures to avoid explosion.
